Chapter 11 Managing the Management LEC
166 Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide
To view the name of the ELAN that the management LEC will try to join, enter the
lane lec elan command:
Managing a Locally Administered Address for the management LEC
If you have an ELAN that uses its own block of MAC addresses, you may want the
management LEC’s MAC address to conform to this scheme by assigning a Locally
Administered Address (LAA). When no LAA is defined, the management LEC will
use the M770 ATM Switch’s Burst-In Address (BIA).
You can:
View the currently assigned LAA for the management LEC.
Set the LAA to cause the management LEC to use the BIA as its MAC address.
Assign a specific LAA to the management LEC.
To view the current management LEC address, use the lane lec laa command.
To change address of the LAA, use the lane lec laa command.
Note: The change caused by the above command will not take effect until the M770
ATM Switch management LEC is restarted. To restart the M770 ATM Switch
management LEC, use the lane lec restart command.
